The Lasting Debt is a clue in Alone in the Dark (2024).
Overview[]
The Lasting Debt is a telegram sent to Edward Carnby by Obed Morton after hearing about his job at the "loony bin", which would be Derceto, worried that he would pay his debt to Gloria Allen before him. This debt is likely Carnby's main motivation for taking the job, as he seems to carry this burden for at least 2 years due to a gambling debt.
The telegram is in Carnby's inventory at the start of the game.
